Caring for wood veneer (select products only)

handling are important to ensure the best results over the life of the product. Because of the nature of

normal.
● Clean the wood with a dry, static-free microber cloth or chamois.
● Avoid cleaning products containing substances such as ammonia, chlorine, acetone, turpentine, or other
mineral spirits.
● Do not expose the wood to sun or moisture for long periods of time.
● If the wood becomes wet, dry it by dabbing with an absorbent, lint-free cloth.
● Avoid contact with any substance that might dye or discolor the wood.
● Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces that might scratch the wood.
